Cities - The International Journal of Urban Policy and Planning is an active peer-reviewed academic journal covering analysis and assessment of current and historical urban development and management. It was established in 1983 and is published ten times annually by Elsevier.

The journal publishes articles on many aspects of urban planning and policy, providing an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information among urban planners, policy makers and analysts, and urbanists from all disciplines. 

The journal publishes work that analyses past and present urban development and management with a view to the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world. Each volume also features one or more City Profiles. Coverage includes a brief description of the city's historical development, an account of contemporary conditions, problems or issues, and a critical review of recent or current policy, planning or management responses.
